As promised, I'm going to spend some time this week looking at options for moving the Python code we've seen in this series of posts – that de-skews perspective images using CPython or IronPython code running on your desktop – to "the cloud". Which in this case I'm taking to mean Google App Engine (GAE), […]

So after several posts leading up to the big reveal, as it were, in today's post we're going to see the full "De-skew Raster" application in action – and give you the complete source to fool around with. The main addition over where we were in the last post is the HTML5 and JavaScript UI […]

In this previous post, we saw some of the issues around executing standard Python code to de-skew raster images inside IronPython (and the effects those differences can have on the results). In this post, we're going to build the ability to execute our Python code from a .NET module loaded inside AutoCAD with the help […]

I'm a few days late to the party (largely because I got a little distracted), but felt it was still worth posting on this topic: we've just launched AutoCAD 360, the successor to AutoCAD WS. It's more than a straight re-branding, though: while the mobile apps for iOS and Android are updates to the existing […]

In this previous post, we looked at using PointCloud Browser to visualize an AR scene containing a mesh generated by 123D Creature, a new iPad app from Autodesk. In this post, we head on over to Autodesk Labs to take Project Pinocchio for a spin. Project Pinocchio is an online character generator that helps you […]

Gamification is happening all over the place. In case you've missed what it's all about, this short video should help. To get even more background, here's another from the same source on augmented reality games, which is a follow-on from this video on alternate reality games. After having managed to get Apollonian Packings brought into […]

After my initial (only partially successful) attempt, earlier in the week, to get 3D geometry from the Apollonian web-service into a PointCloud Browser session, I finally managed to get it working properly. Given the currently fairly light documentation available – especially for the Viper JavaScript namespace which gives access to the 3D rendering capabilities in […]

I first became aware of the work being done by 13th Lab a couple of years ago, but just last week someone pinged me about it again and re-triggered my interest (thanks, Jim :-). 13th Lab is a small Swedish company that has created some really interesting Augmented Reality technology. Many AR systems make use […]

This week has so far had an AU theme to it, just as last week we talked exclusively about Leap Motion and AutoCAD. Perhaps I'm sub-consciously shifting this blog to a weekly-themed format? Hmm. Like many of you, I'm sure, I received an email over the weekend to let me know that the recorded sessions […]

After introducing the topic – as well as creating our basic, local web-service – in the last post, today we're going to publish our MVC 4 Web API application to the cloud and see it working from a number of different client environments. Preparing to publish to Azure Now that we're ready to publish to […]
